Hispanic Dems want immigration reform

Big Surprise
"Hispanic Democrats will have their first West Wing meeting with President Obama on Wednesday morning to discuss immigration reform, according to Democratic sources.

The meeting is the first face-to-face sit-down between Obama and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) since the president was sworn-in. Some in the CHC have recently expressed frustration that Obama has not talked more about immigration in his first two months in office."

Well sorry hispanic dems..the Messiah has been a little bit busy spnding money like its water.

"CHC is eager to hear the president’s ideas and proposals for tackling immigration reform, not only as it relates to a comprehensive reform bill that could provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented workers but also as it relates to rolling back Bush administration policies of raiding workplaces and detaining and deporting thousands of illegal workers"

I don't see a problem with the policy at all. The illegals don't belong here. They came in without visas, without right to work documents, a lot of them are picked up as "day laborers" in front of various centers and home improvement stores by crew bosses and business owners that figure 'hey we can pay em off the books and if they get hurt it doesn't matter because they're illegal"
Whats even better is that they don't have to pay taxes on the payroll for the illegals since they're off the books, which means the illegals are paid in cash.

"The group has made the raids and their human cost the new focus of its immigration reform push, although a comprehensive reform bill remains very much a priority for them, and one that they are encouraging Obama to push. Hispanic Democrats are continuing their nationwide tour of cities where raids have been conducted to drum up public support for curtailing the practice. During an event on the rout in San Francisco earlier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the raids “un-American" and spoke out on the need for comprehensive immigration reform."

Frankly I don't see it as "Un-american" to protect our interests. Aside from the "day laborers' do you have ANY idea how many of the illegals in this country are drug traffickers and criminals? Its mindblowing. I was watching the news yesterday and they interviewed a county sheriff down near the mexico border. All but ONE of the people in his jail cells were illegal aliens. What does THAT tell you about the problem with illegal immigrants and hence the problem with mexico.
